American Kevin Widemond died yesterday of a sudden cardiac arrest. The guard, signed by Portuguese LPB side Ovarense last month, died during the halftime of the António Pratas Cup tournament which his team was playing against Académica. The 23-year-old Widemond apparently fell to the side while listening coach Mário Leite's instructions in the locker room and died shortly after.A product of the Texas A&M University Widemond had no previous indications of heart problems, therefore his sudden death remains a mystery until the authopsy is performed this week.This is the fourth case in Portugal in the last ten years, after Paulo Pinto, Rui Guimarães and Spaniard Angel Almeida died in similar conditions.
